Homeless World Cup 2005:
"Organised by the International Network of Street Papers and supported by UEFA, the UN and Nike, the event provides excluded people with access to football in a team environment - generating a feeling of belonging, enhancing self esteem, helping homeless people to regain a health-oriented attitude towards life and bringing fun into their lives."
I found this in the Scottish news. Scotland is making inroads into the problems associated with homelessness and as a country, has made some pretty big undertakings to try and address it. Edinborough is currently sponsoring and supporting the Homeless World Cup soccer matches which take part on the street. It enables homeless people to be united from all over the world. If you look towards the end of the article, there are some pretty impressive improvements in the position and profiles of homeless people because of their involvement with sport. Change is action, heh.
